I doubt if anyone ever drinks because of the health benefits. But I know that a lot of people will probably feel better about drinking than they did before. I drank because it made me feel good and I felt better able to communicate with people after a few (usually alot) drinks. In the last year I went out a few times with friends who had drank too much and I could not believe how terrible the conversation became. I don't really care if people around me drink. It's up to them to decide if they want to or not. But recently I don't go out as I don't find it very much fun when everyone gets tanked up. A few drinks over dinner for anyone besides me does seem to liven things up.

I am concerned though to see TV programs like Wild On which glamorize binge drinking and partying as the cool thing to do. But I guess I am just growing old...
